Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᔬ has the Unicode code point U+152C. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thexare the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+152C to binary:
00010101 00101100. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100001 10010100 10101100

Description
U+152C, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS Y-CREE YOO, is a character within the Unicode standard that holds significant importance in digital text representation for the Cree language, which is predominantly used by the Indigenous peoples of Canada. This character is specifically designed to represent a phonetic sound in the Cree syllabics script, which consists of 35 distinct characters. The Cree syllabics script was developed in the early 20th century by missionaries and educators to facilitate literacy among Indigenous communities who primarily spoke Algonquian languages. Today, the Cree language is widely spoken across Canada, particularly in the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, Labrador, and Newfoundland and Labrador. In digital text, U+152C plays a crucial role in accurately representing the intended meaning of written communication in Cree, thus preserving cultural heritage and fostering linguistic diversity.
